Given your stance on how the lifetime value of a customer in the discount broking space is less than the CAC, going full throttle on advertising just doesn’t make sense.
But I wanted to know from you whether that stance has been changing over the past few months given that your competition is advertising on your business’s keyword on Google “.
Nithin Kamath says ” We have many partners and customers who might be creating these ads, but we have never done any marketing and advertising ourselves ever.
We never pay partners or even customers any upfront money to put these ads as well, we just do a flat percentage share of the brokerage revenue generated. “
“If we spend money to acquire users, then the business is wired to constantly figure out ways to generate this cost in revenue from customers.
Most times, this isn’t right for the customer, like trying to get customers to borrow or trade more or trade riskier products. Sharing this from a Zconnect post from earlier this year. “
